Crosby, Stills & Nash - Almost Cut My Hair; Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground/Roxanne with Sting; Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence; Metallica - Enter Sandman; U2 - Gimme Shelter with Mick Jagger, Fergie and will.i.am; Jeff Beck - Let Me Love You Baby with Buddy Guy; Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - The Ghost of Tom Joad with Tom Morello; and sooooooooo much more.

**** (out of 4)

Fans of rock and roll are certainly going to be in for a treat as this concert, recorded over two days in New York City, has enough legends for five shows. You know you're in for a treat when Jerry Lee Lewis starts off rocking a version of "Great Balls of Fire" and the show closes with Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel doing "Born to Run." In between we get countless acts doing their own songs as well as covers. Artists include Metallica with Ozzy Osbourne, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Mick Jagger, Aretha Franklin, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Simon and Garfunkel, U2, Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Jackson Brown, Smokey Robinson, Sting and various others. If you're a fan of rock then I don't see how you could be disappointed here. Yes, there are a few people (Bob Dylan) that should have been included but even those people are still mentioned throughout the show. The greatest thing going here is getting to see the various acts performing together and this here is where all the fun comes from. Seeing John Fogerty and Springsteen take on "Oh, Pretty Woman" was a blast. At over 5-hours with commercials, this here is certainly an epic rock show.

This concert is amazing and it will never happen again

It has great singers such as Bruce and the E Street Band, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor Crosby Stills and Nash Jackson Browne Mick Jagger U2 Stevie Wonder plus many more.

It is so much fun to watch.

The 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert (2009)

**** (out of 4)

This concert was to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and featured a terrific music line up. This concert was originally recorded at Madison Square Garden on October 29th and 30th, 2009. The full version has been released but there's also an edited one that clocks in at 139-minutes and of course is missing a lot of footage.

Metallica, Simon and Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, U2, Jeff Beck, Sting, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Smokey Robinson and Mick Jagger are just some of the faces who show up on stage and we're treated to some great musical numbers as well as some fun duets including Springsteen and Billy Joel rocking out to New York State of Mind and Born to Run.

If you're a fan of ROck and Roll music then this here will certainly be a must see. There's no question that one should go for the complete shows if they're able to find it but even the edited version makes for great television. There are some really terrific numbers performed including Simon and Garfunkel teaming up for what will probably be the last time. U2 does a rocking version of Gimme Shelter with Jagger and Metallica obviously rips things up.

Fans of rock music should certainly watch this and enjoy it for the sheer number of great artists that were lined up to take part. Of course, you should also go to the actual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland as it's quite remarkable.

Perhaps the best concert I've had the pleasure to watch in my entire life. You can't see that often so many big names in music gathered in one place. The video and audio quality of the blu-ray is really amazing so get it as it's worth every penny ! After hearing so much cheap commercial music all around everyday, you will be delighted to hear these guys singing tens of years after the original releases with almost unchanged tonal qualities and of course no computer aids for the voices ! I've most enjoyed Simon & Garfunkel, U2 & Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen & Tom Morello. I would have only also invited Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits to join this concert and it would have been perfect !
